Freedoms of the Air

First Freedom of the Air - the right or privilege, in respect of

scheduled international air services, granted by one State to
another State or States to fly across its territory without landing
(also known as a First Freedom Right).
Second Freedom of the Air - the right or privilege, in respect of
scheduled international air services, granted by one State to
another State or States to land in its territory for non-traffic
purposes (also known as a Second Freedom Right).
Third Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of
scheduled international air services, granted by one State to
another State to put down, in the territory of the first State, traffic
coming from the home State of the carrier (also known as a Third
Freedom Right).
Fourth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of
scheduled international air services, granted by one State to
another State to take on, in the territory of the first State, traffic
destined for the home State of the carrier (also known as
a Fourth Freedom Right).
Fifth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of
scheduled international air services, granted by one State to
another State to put down and to take on, in the territory of the
first State, traffic coming from or destined to a third State (also
known as a Fifth Freedom Right).
ICAO characterizes all "freedoms" beyond the Fifth as "so-called"
because only the first five "freedoms" have been officially
recognized as such by international treaty.

Sixth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of

scheduled international air services, of transporting, via the home
State of the carrier, traffic moving between two other States (also
known as a Sixth Freedom Right). The so-called Sixth Freedom
of the Air, unlike the first five freedoms, is not incorporated as
such into any widely recognized air service agreements such as
the "Five Freedoms Agreement".
Seventh Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of
scheduled international air services, granted by one State to
another State, of transporting traffic between the territory of the
granting State and any third State with no requirement to include
on such operation any point in the territory of the recipient State,
i.e the service need not connect to or be an extension of any
service to/from the home State of the carrier.
Eighth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of
scheduled international air services, of transporting cabotage
traffic between two points in the territory of the granting State on a
service which originates or terminates in the home country of the
foreign carrier or (in connection with the so-called Seventh
Freedom of the Air) outside the territory of the granting State (also
known as a Eighth Freedom Right or "consecutive cabotage").
Ninth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege of transporting
cabotage traffic of the granting State on a service performed
entirely within the territory of the granting State (also known as
a Ninth Freedom Right or "stand alone" cabotage).
